Newly unsealed court filings show the office of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., shared with the FBI and a host of media outlets the unverified dossier that alleged the Russians had compromising information on now-President Trump.
McCain had denied being the source for BuzzFeed after it published the dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, but had acknowledged giving it to the FBI.
In a newly unsealed declaration from September, former senior counterintelligence FBI agent Bill Priestap confirmed that the FBI received a copy of the first 33 pages of the dossier in December 2016 from McCain.
In another filing, David Kramer -- a former State Department official and McCain associate -- said in a Dec. 13, 2017, deposition that the dossier was given to him by author and former British spy Christopher Steele, which he then provided to more than a dozen journalists at outlets including CNN, BuzzFeed and The Washington Post. The details were first reported by The Daily Caller.
The report was also shared with State Department official Victoria Nuland, Obama National Security Council official Celeste Wallander and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.
The filings were unsealed as part of an ongoing libel case against BuzzFeed by a Russian businessman.
In his deposition, Kramer said that McCain gave a copy of the dossier to then-FBI Director James Comey on Dec. 9. Kramer told investigators that it was the sense from Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson that “having Senator McCain provide it to the FBI would give it a little more oomph than it had had up until that point.”

She will ignore them all...............
Maybe the Wall Street Journal will run this as their “Bottom Story of the Day”...similar to the other headlines they run like “Man leaves McDonalds after finishing meal” or something.
That’s why McStain is now a Dirt Stain!
Kramer should have HIS life destroyed, after destroying so many
other lives.
A serviceman by inheritance but not a patriot.
Has the fat daughter chimed in?
She will ignore it...................
Rip his grave out and dump it in Syria.
They’re all tiptoeing very carefully around admitting that this document was being widely disseminated during the actual campaign. That’s where the election interference was, that’s where the collusion was. It was out there by January of 2016. They all had a sort of euphemism for it, they called it “the thing.” Hillary herself alluded to it several times in debate and on the campaign trail.
I think McCain realized that he had made a fool out of himself; and in fact, had been used as a tool by America’s enemies.
Hi.
“Was there ever any doubt ?”
No.
5.56mm
No, he was full into the Never Trump mode..................
And we all know he did it at the direction, and with the approval of his boss.
I swear, if I see that F'er's face at the Pearly Gates, or the face of Ted Kennedy, or any of the other traitorous slugs who have gone before me, there's going to be Hell to pay.
Juan McStain, what a vicious nasty POS!
Juan is having a long agonizing visit with the Cloven-Hooved One. HeeHee
Actually she is now officially the morbidly obese daughter. The fatter she gets, the meaner she gets. She thinks her wretched dad is a national beloved hero, BWAH HAH HAH!!!
I'll add another. He prevented President Romney and Vice President Ryan.
The spoiled Meagan is going to have a hissy fit over this!
